By signing this form I understand and agree to abide by Calais Dermatology’s office policies stated on this form.

Insurance Card Policy:

We require you to confirm that your insurance is current at each office visit. New patients or existing patients with a change in their insurance information must provide a valid insurance card or temporary print out at the time of the visit. Should you be unable to produce this documentation, you may pay in full at the time of service and submit the claim to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. I understand that by signing below I am

responsible for notifying Calais Dermatology of any changes to my insurance.

Insurance Referral Policy:

If my insurance plan requires a referral, I understand that it is my responsibility to obtain an updated referral from my Primary Care Provider and to make sure that Calais Dermatology has the referral before my visit. I understand that it is my responsibility to keep track of the number of visits I have used on my referral and the expiration date of my referral and to obtain new ones as needed.

Co-Payment Policy:

Co-payments are due and collected on the day of my or my family’s appointment.

Account Balances:

I am responsible for the timely payment of my account balances, co-insurance and deductibles. All balances are due in full within 30 days of my first billing. Any balance left unpaid after 90 days, without any attempt at resolution, will be considered delinquent and may be submitted to a collection agency. If I am having financial difficulty, I will call the billing office to discuss a payment plan.

Minor Patients:

A legal guardian must accompany children under the age of 18 to their initial appointment so that the proper forms can be filled out and signed. Follow up visits do not require a guardian’s presence, unless a procedure is being performed that requires a signed consent form.

College Students:

If you are a college student on your parent’s insurance plan, your insurance company will require a form to be completes confirming your student status. These forms are mailed to your home address and must be completed and returned within 30 days. If these forms are not returned within the time frame, you will be financially responsible for all charges incurred.

Insurance Requests:

Your insurance company will periodically require a form to be completed concerning coordination of benefits or whether you have other insurance coverage. These forms are mailed to your home address and must be completed and returned within 30 days. If these forms are not returned within the time frame, you will be financially responsible for all charges incurred.

Appointment Cancellations:

If I am unable to keep my scheduled appointment, I will call Calais Dermatology to cancel or re-schedule my appointment. Regular appointments require 24-hour cancellation notice. Cosmetic and Surgical appts require 48-hour cancellation notice.

Calais Dermatology Associates HIPAA Policy

Patient Name:

HIPAA Policy:

Patients over the age of 18 are protected under the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This Federal Law prohibits any staff member of Calais Dermatology from discussing appointments, medication, test results or treatment plans with anyone other than the patient. Often, this causes difficulty for some patients who would like family members or caretakers to obtain information for them. This becomes especially important if your spouse assists with making appointments for you or if you are an adult college student away at school and your parents assist with prescriptions and appointments.

If you would like to permit someone to discuss your medical condition, confirm appointments or obtain results for you, please indicate their name(s) below. Only these individuals will be provided with information. Should you wish to update the names provided below, please ask the receptionist for a HIPAA Form.
